As a long-term owner of the domestic Explorer, I follow the official manual's recommendation to perform routine maintenance every 7,500 kilometers, which includes oil changes, air filter checks, and tire inspections. If you do a lot of city driving with frequent traffic jams, you might want to shorten the interval to around 5,000 kilometers to prevent engine carbon buildup. On the other hand, owners who do more highway cruising can extend it a bit. During my last maintenance visit, the mechanic at the shop also mentioned that regular upkeep can prevent major issues, saving both money and hassle, so never ignore the manual's recommendations.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for many years, I've encountered numerous Explorer owners coming in for maintenance. The domestic version typically requires service every 8,000 kilometers or so. The key points are checking the oil quality, filter clogging condition, and brake system. If driving on dusty rural roads, it's advisable to have an inspection at 6,000 kilometers to prevent engine component damage from dust. Remember, regular maintenance is the foundation of safe vehicle operation—never extend intervals just to save trouble.

I've been driving the domestic Explorer for less than a year, and the manual clearly states maintenance every 7,500 kilometers, so I strictly follow this schedule. Oil changes and filter cleaning are the main items. If you frequently drive on rough roads or take long trips, it's best to get an early inspection to prevent small issues from becoming big troubles. This is especially important for beginners, as it can reduce the stress caused by unexpected breakdowns.

Where is the gasoline filter of Volvo S90 located?

The gasoline filter of this car is located on the firewall behind the engine compartment. Introduction to the oil filter: The oil filter is a component that filters the engine oil. Engine oil contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, water, and additives; during engine operation, metal shavings generated by friction between parts, impurities from the intake air, and oxides in the oil are all filtered by the oil filter. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the oil circuit, it will adversely affect the engine's performance and lifespan. Removal of the oil filter: Open the engine hood, unscrew the oil cap, locate the oil pan, find the nut on the oil pan, loosen it with a wrench, and place a waste oil bucket underneath to catch the black waste oil. Once the waste oil has completely drained, use a specialized tool to remove the oil filter.

Is the Volvo S90 equipped with run-flat tires?

The Volvo S90 is not equipped with run-flat tires. Disadvantages of run-flat tires: Run-flat tires are relatively harder, so driving on bumpy roads can feel more intense. Additionally, run-flat tires of the same grade are slightly more expensive than regular tires. Functions of run-flat tires: Run-flat tires not only allow continued driving after losing pressure but also ensure safety. After a blowout, run-flat tires do not immediately collapse because their sidewalls are particularly thick, providing strong support to prevent the vehicle from rolling over. Moreover, vehicles with run-flat tires do not require a spare tire. They can continue driving after a blowout without needing to change the tire, offering convenience and additional trunk space.

Why does the Wuling Hongguang Mini have no power when starting?

Car cannot start due to battery depletion. Specific reasons: The most common cause of this situation is using in-car electrical appliances for a long time while the engine is off, such as listening to music or running the air conditioning. Frequently draining the battery can cause permanent damage and shorten its lifespan. Other possible issues include ABS sensor failure or starter motor failure. Solutions: First, try jump-starting the battery using another vehicle. If the problem is simply a depleted battery, this should resolve the issue. If jump-starting does not solve the problem, it is recommended to seek inspection and repair from a 4S shop or professional.

Where to Add Water in Wuling?

For the Wuling Zhiguang, water is added to the small reservoir, whose filler neck is located under the hood at the upper left corner of the engine. Below is some information about the car's cooling system: 1. Main Components: The radiator is part of the vehicle's cooling system. In an engine's water-cooling system, the radiator consists of three parts: the inlet tank, outlet tank, and the core with main fins. 2. Primary Function: When the engine's coolant temperature is high, the water pump circulates the coolant to reduce the engine's temperature, thereby protecting it. In winter, if the coolant temperature is too low, circulation stops to prevent the engine from becoming too cold.

Why Can't the Wuling Engage Reverse Gear?

Reason: Excessive wear of the keyway causes the gear to deviate from its original axis, resulting in jumping, which prevents engaging reverse gear; incomplete clutch disengagement can also lead to difficulty in engaging reverse gear. Failure inside the gear shift lever assembly: Internal gear wear in the gear shift lever causes it to get stuck, making it difficult to pull forward and backward. This results in the inability to shift gears or experiencing difficulty in shifting. P-lock solenoid valve or brake failure: For safety reasons, to prevent accidentally shifting into other gears when starting the vehicle, the P-lock solenoid valve is installed. This solenoid valve requires a signal from the brake pedal to release. Therefore, these two components are interconnected, and if either one fails, it will prevent the gear shift lever from being pushed out of the P position to engage other gears.

Toyota Avalon is equipped with naturally aspirated engines across all models, so using 92-octane gasoline is sufficient. Gasoline with different octane ratings has varying levels of octane numbers—higher octane gasoline has a higher octane value, which provides better anti-knock performance.
